All things airway

9. Measure used to assess severity of hypoxic respiratory failure
10. What can occur when your patient is under ventilated
12. Positive pressure applied at the end of expiration
14. Medication used for upper airway swelling, think after extubation
16. Sedative often used in intubated patients, that does not affect respiratory drive
17. Ventilator mode that has a target tidal volume that is pressure regulated
18. Length of time for inhalation during mechanical ventilation
19. Controls number of breaths per minute on a ventilator

1. Volume of air delivered to the lungs with each breath
2. Medication used to treat pulmonary hypertension
3. Inhaled gas that acts as a selective pulmonary vasodilator
4. A medication that is given if there is no air leak noted prior to extubation
5. Fraction of inspired oxygen
6. Helps overcome airway resistance during spontaneous breathing
7. Bluish discoloration due to low oxygen levels
8. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation
11. Common bronchodilator used by RTs
13. What can happen when your patient is over ventilated
15. A gas mixture that is less dense than oxygen creating a less turbulent flow
